Its nice to see reviews form real people that spend real time with a product.

I liked were one owner had this listed under "CONS".. "replace muffler evertime you change the oil"

[freshtiva]

Thats the same guy that said " takes a beating real well" and " can leave a 40' black mark". What do you bet its been scrapped by now ?

This guy didnt seem to happy:

Cons:
Everything, boxy, the tranny got replaced two times,the timing belt had to be replaced 3 times in 2 month. And when I press gas my engine start shaking, and it makes dents from the bottom off the hood because it keeps going up and down., the paint comes off easily, light overheat and need to be replaced twice a month. The oil keeps leaking, the bolts that were holding the seat and the flooring together fell apart when i was driving! The wipers stopped working a week after i bought the car. And as far as the safety goes you have more chance of surving in a plane crash. I dont recommmed this car unless you a good mechanic. Only Kyle Ramsey would buy this on the 24''s

One person listed a con as "its a manual transmission "

[muscle_Car1]

or this guy
Cons:
clutch starter-makes me nervous. you have to press all of the way down on the clutch to start the car. this i believe can cause, wear and tear on the clutch and starter.

All you have to do is read this site for a review!

I love what this person said:

"Power steering,shorten body height(by 6in.)lenghten body by 1ft,install a 13" tire/rim which would help improve a somewhat disturbing ride.Soundproof/undercoat for less road noise.Make a 5speed manual transmission standard,not optional,for overall fuel economy and less engine wear during the life of the powertrain."

Ford did have those options - it's call an escort
